Secretary General called on the parties to stop fire in the region in order to prevent new victims from the civilian population. “Return to the peace process is the only way to a long-term and fair decision,” he added.
Guttherish noted that Israel should provide humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip. “Attacks of militant groups on areas adjacent to checkpoints are not allowed,” he said.
Politician recalled the need to return to the negotiations to address the status of Jerusalem and other territories. He also stressed the importance of collaboration on the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli crisis in the format of the Middle Eastern Quartet, which also includes Russia, USA and the European Union.
The aggravation of the conflict between Palestine and Israel began with clashes in East Jerusalem. Then, on May 10, the Palestinian groupings of Hamas and Islamic jihad, based in the Gaza Strip, began a massive shelling of Israel – a total of over three thousand missiles were issued in the country. In response, the Israeli army called on five thousand reservists and inflicts air strikes for goals in the Gaza Strip. Clashs are still. According to the latest data, 10 Israelis and 220 residents of the Gaza sector were killed from the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
